Indian AI infrastructure firm reportedly seeks to raise $3 billion of debt to buy Nvidia’s next-generation chips

Nvidia’s Rubin GPUs are tailored for agentic AI and will give AM Intelligence a first-mover advantage in India, Shah said.

By next year, enterprises will be focusing on “running low-latency production agents” and not just on the raw foundational model training, which is supported by Blackwell Ultra GPUs.

AM Intelligence is developing 5 GW of AI data centers and 1 GW of compute-as-a-service across India, the U.S. and Europe, a spokesperson for the company said in a note. Within two years, the company plans to set up 400 MW of compute capacity.

The Emerging Technologies of Our New Era: How Innovation Will Transform the Human Ecosystem

Chuck Brooks

Humanity is about to enter a new technological era that has the potential to drastically alter civilization, much like the Industrial Revolution, the discovery of electricity, and the development of the internet. However, unlike earlier times of change, the advancements of today are not happening on their own. The convergence of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, biotechnology, advanced materials, robotics, space systems, and next-generation communications is producing capabilities that were remarkably difficult to envision just a generation ago.

The outcome is more than just a set of novel technologies. It is a developing ecosystem where humans, biological systems, intelligent machines, and interconnected infrastructure will interact in ever-more complex ways. Technological advancement brings both remarkable opportunities and consequential risks throughout my writing on cybersecurity and emerging technologies, including my book “Inside Cyber: How AI, 5G, IoT, and Quantum Computing Will Transform Privacy and Our Security.”

Next Science on X: ⏳ Scientists have proposed a strange new state of matter that behaves like a liquid—but through time.

What if matter could maintain a rhythm without staying perfectly synchronized?

Physicists have proposed a fascinating concept called a discrete time liquid. Ordinary crystals have repeating patterns in space, while time crystals display repeating patterns in their behaviour over time.

First patient undergoes pioneering stem-cell treatment for Parkinson’s

A patient has undergone pioneering stem-cell therapy to treat Parkinson’s disease, the Japanese drugmaker behind the treatment said on Friday, in a world first following its conditional approval in the country.

Sumitomo Pharma’s treatment involves transplanting millions of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which have the potential to develop into any cell in the body, into a patient’s brain.

Japanese regulators approved the therapy in March, following a successful clinical trial.
